[Intro] A Em G D [Verse 1]
A                     Em
 I think of you much more than

                   G                      D
I would like to admit that I do before strangers

              A
But there you are

                        Em
Whistling through the trees again

                      G
Rustling through the leaves my friend

                 D                                  A   Em   G   D
A feather on my pillow lets me know that you're near
[Verse 2]
A                           Em
 I remember the night that you arrived

                G
December maybe '95

                     D                                A
Your hair and your breath smelled of John Player Specials

                  Em
A stranger who I learned to love

                      G
A friend when really no one was

                 D
My Daedalus, my wings to fly

                 A        Em   G   D
Why'd you leave me behind?
[Chorus]
A               Em
 My beautiful crow

                     G                           D
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul

                       A   Em   G   D
Won't let me, let you go
[Verse 3]
A                 Em                       G
 I never really thanked you for all of the light

                     D
You brought into my mother's eyes

        A
So many others tried

                       Em
Her sadness since the day you left

                 G
She will not get out of bed

                    D                              A   Em   G   D
She stares out the window, smokes a black pack of JPS
[Verse 4]
A               Em                         G
  I was out on Saint Paul's when I heard about your fall

              D                              A
Walking with Caroline, she bums smokes from time to time

                Em
I walked home alone that night

                          G
I could feel you when I closed my eyes

               D                                             A          Em   G   D
I looked up into the night and watched black feathers fall from the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
A                     Em                         G
 I think of you much more than I'm allowed to admit

         D         A
But I do, I still do
[Chorus]
              Em
My beautiful crow

                     G                           D
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul

                       A   Em   G   D
Won't let me, let you go
[Bridge]
A                Em
  I've tried to push you down

               G
I've tried to cut you out

                      D
You're rattling your cage

                 A
I'm rattling my cage

                Em
I've tried to drown you out

                    G
Drink till I don't hear the sound

                      D
The song's still the same

                      A
The song's still the same
[Chorus]
              Em
My beautiful crow

                     G                           D
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul

                       A   Em   G   D
Won't let me, let you go
[Outro] A Em G D
